Known for her roles in other prominent French series like "Un si grand soleil" and "Demain nous appartient," Kaprisky brings her considerable experience to the Auguste Armand Institute. Her character, Isabella Roma, is introduced as the maternal figure who raised Bianca (played by Alexandra Ferreira) from the age of seven, after Bianca's own mother departed. According to a report by Télé Star, Kaprisky began filming for her new role on October 13, 2026.
Isabella is depicted as a woman of formidable character—a strong-willed chef who has managed her trattoria with instinct and boundless energy for decades. She is the foundation of Bianca's personality, instilling in her granddaughter a directness, a strong work ethic, and a deep appreciation for food. Isabella's presence commands respect, with sources close to the production noting that "her entourage adores her as much as they slightly fear her. You don't say no to Isabella."
However, Isabella's arrival in the series is prompted by a serious health concern. Despite managing her diabetes for years, the condition is now catching up to her. This grave development sets the stage for a compelling and potentially heartbreaking storyline, raising questions about the future of Isabella and the profound impact her struggles will have on Bianca, who owes so much to her grandmother.
The casting of Valérie Kaprisky is expected to add a new layer of dramatic intensity to "Ici tout commence," which airs Monday through Friday on TF1 at 6:30 PM, with episodes also available on the TF1+ platform. Fans will undoubtedly be eager to see how Isabella's story unfolds and what challenges lie ahead for Bianca.
